I'll vouch for the eden cxc110. Retail is around $1100. I paid like 650 new. I have since added the ext. cab at 200 but do not always need it.

Very powerful combo and awesome preamp. Has lots of features that are actually useful.

Full range
Tuned to 37 hz. Goes all the way to 20Khz.

optical compressor

"Warm" circuit (half-wave even order harmonic distortion with adjustable level). Not a tube, but a high tech IC. First one I have heard that sounds better than a singe cheapo 12AX7A pre.

optical boost circuits that boost either lows, highs or both and automatically cut off if overdriven.

tone defeat for signal purity

point-source tweeter for unoffensive highs
(and killer off-axis response: 100 degrees. Even ext. cab has the tweet but can be attenuated or defeated.)

2 ohm stable- 420 watts
330 w/ 8 0hm ext. cab.

cd/stereo input to use as a party system or mini PA. Not stereo output, however.

killer DI- level, pre or post e.q.

no cheesey graphic e.q.

no unsuable sub-harmoic octaver effect

Dislikes:

Even though the "warm" IC in this preamp "feels" and sounds more like a power amp tube being overdriven, I wish they stuck a placebo 12AX7A in there to make me feel better. I hate the label "solid state" "Hybrid" would sound nicer as a marketing matter.

Thanks M.R. and Mike, the Nemesis is too heavy and the EA stuff is two pieces and much $$$. I'm handicapped and even 40# is pushing it weight-wise. Got a casino gig (yes, in Oklahoma) and need to bring a superlightweight all-in-one rig. Tiltback with rollers would be a plus.

I have not A/B'd them with the Eden, but would put that eden up against those. Hard to find either in the stores. I hear good things about both.

You can get castors for any amp. I have not becasue I like the option of stacking.

I bought mine from a mom and pop store and had them do a phone order "dropped shipped" to my house from Eden's distributor in Chicago. Be happy to give the name but I am sick of plugging this guy. Unfortunately, everyone else rips you off for Eden. This guy loves to undercut the superstores, since he and many others who have been in business for 30+ years have taken a major hit.

Well, the Wizzy Combo is close to 40 lbs (44 lbs), and packs a whole lotta tone and volume in a small package. I haven't tried the combo, but I own two Wizzy's and several EA amps, and I would imagine that this would be a killer setup.

I also own a Walkabout head, and with all the good things that I have heard about the combo, I feel comfortable recommending the Scout, as well. It may be too heavy for you, though.

I have tried the Eden Time Traveler 10 Combo, which seems like it is quite similar to the CXC110 mentioned above. It was pretty nice sounding, but didn't seem that loud to me. I would expect the Walkabout Scout to be significantly louder (albeit slightly heavier). I did own a Phil Jones Briefcase, and have another one on its way to me (the first one was a pre-production model, and was sent back because the battery-powered option didn't work quite right). Volume wise, the Briefcase is very loud for its size, but not as loud as the Eden or other combos mentioned. Interestingly, though, when I used the power amp section (which is tiny!) to power my Bergies (HT/EX112), it was incredibly loud for the rated 100w into 4 ohm, and far exceeded my expectations.

I love the mesa walkabout scout. But I picked it up and it did not pass my "single trip" test. Too heavy and bulky to leave in my car but would agree has the best volume-size-weight ratio. It has an $1100 price tag and, like Bose, everyone pays the same price. They don't deal on Mesa.

I think it uses a 12 and is much bigger and felt more like 60 lbs. But I am sure somebody will post what it weighs. The power section is like 300 watts @ 4 ohms and I hear it is under-rated. I love the idea of the passive radiator. I have an old Velodyne sub that uses a similiar design and really like the air movement at low volume levels.

I think it outclasses the Eden because it uses a 12 and passive radiator and is bigger and heavier and has a more expensive street price. Ditto for the EA 112.

The Eden has the same power at 4 ohms (330), but does not come loaded with a 4 ohm driver.

But if anyone knows where to get a new Mesa Walkabout Scout (or even a used one) for under 700, let me know. Before I got the Eden I searched, and it eluded me. The hevos midget also has a 1200+ price tag, assuming you can get it on this side of the pond.

I really do not know of a more powerful 10 than the Eden cxc110 other the the Ashdown ABM 500 110. But that is another story.
